Prince is such a freak for using the flute in 2 of the freakiest funk songs!!

Gett Off & Big Fun headbang

I love that he is such a damn genius that he can sneak the most unassuming instrument into ultra funk sessions like these.

Another example of why Prince rules!

Prince doesn't play horns. He didn't actually play the flute part, and I've never heard of him playing the sax...

It's most likely a keyboard-patch, although Najee played flute on 'The rainbow children' smile

Another funky jam including flute: Herbie Hancock - Watermelon man

Oh, and Eric Leeds plays some flute as well...


Eric leads the edit razz

Prince likes to play Larry's skin flute. He's become a pro.

Click on the link below to hear the flute riff for the song "Get Off". I am teaching myself how to play the flute (I already play Clarinet and Bass Clarinet) and I will be learning this flute part, cause I like it. smile

I love that version! I cannot seem to find the Flutestrumental only A friend of mine made me a tape of the instrumentals a few years back, but it got all messed up. I know it is on Vinyl but I only want the instrumental version not all the versions. I will just keep trying.

AHHH! I forgot all about that, probably because back in the day I wouldn't buy the CD Maxi due to the content, I only wanted the instrumentals. Even though I only still want the instrumentals, it is so hard to find now. Well because of your post I copied and pasted the info into Ebay's search field and LOW and BEHOLD someone was selling it! and it actually looks like it's the real deal! I won the auction with "buy it now" and bought it. Thanks! biggrin biggrin

Wow! You've gone this long with the Gett Off maxi?!?! Glad ya finally got it, though. This is his best maxi single, by far and pretty much the only bit of his remixes that were really worth a damn!!
